A Beautiful Mind

to kill a mockingbird: good film, but misses so much out that was in the book! this is a good reason why book-film changes dont really work that well unless you have a very good director/writer, this film had ok of both but...

in short, watch the film if you want, but definitely read the book, one of the best i think ive ever read to be honest

Sorta unrelated ... but have you ever watched Crank: High Voltage with your parents?

If you haven't ... don't

Ive seen porn with less nudity ...

Wait...
WHAT?

Ha ha ha ha ha classic, well, maybe not.

Ha! Still, if your parents were willing to even watch it in the first place they must have a pretty good sense of humor.

did they see the first one, or did you spring #2 on 'em unawares?

They said they seen the first one ... but i think my mom was thinking of "The Transporter"

My dad laughed his ass off at some points ... my mom kinda left in the middle of the movie ...

Then after the movie he kept saying "That movie deserves a nomination for an academy award!" to my mom just to get on her nerves a bit ...

Honestly ... you would think that im even kidding ... but when i think about it ... there were a ton of topless scenes ...

If you took out all the extreme violence/graphics, topless girls, and extreme language ... you would get about 5-10 minutes of movie/credits ...

what's even funnier is that i didn't even rent the movie ... i checked it out from the library ...

Mirror Mask is good and wierd.

Peacekeeper Wars is good if you've watched the Farscape series.

That's all I can think of.

I didn't like To Kill a Mocking Bird, then again I didn't like the book either. I'll say that the movie wasa better than the book though even if they did leave some key things out.

Has anyone seen Funny Games? It's really messed up but I love it, and a nice break from how most films of that nature go, it's different.
Also I guess I'm seeing Zombieland this weekend now, since my other plans have been shot to hell, what a great birthday this year, bah, people are strange. Had to vent a little.
Zombieland does look freaking amazing though, one thing I've noticed though is that out of all the people I know, literally all of the guys think it looks awesome and the girls think it's ridiculously stupid, like an anti-chick flick.

I actually liked the book. What I can remember of it, anyway. The movie was... egh.

Cashback. Great movie set in London.

Netflix Summary:
"After breaking up with his girlfriend, aspiring artist Ben Willis (Sean Biggerstaff) develops insomnia and takes a night-shift job at a supermarket to pass the hours. He soon discovers that he can freeze time and begins fantasizing about pretty checkout clerk Sharon (Emilia Fox). When he's not dreaming of Sharon -- who may hold the key to resolving his sleeplessness -- Ben roams the aisles disrobing beautiful customers and sketching them."

Customer Review:
"Brilliant...absolutely, amazingly, stunningly brilliant. I could have sworn I was watching a Michael Gondry movie. This is the best film in the genre that I have seen since "Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind." The heart of an artist broken on the rocks of a love lost we dream his life into being as the stopwatch allows us to focus on the details that make life beautiful. Characters that are beautifully, lovingly drawn by another artist's hand. You will be mesmerized. It is romantic. It is artistic. It is funny. It is sexy. It is moving. This film took me totally by surprise. It is superlative in every sense of the word. I will be adding this to my collection."

Oh, and there are a lot of nude scenes, none of guys, but about a third of the movie is taken up by naked girls.
